Lol well mine are at 40 days also. So they have been expanding. By the way mold is sometimes caused from water dropping from the lid on too the eggs just gently wipe it off with a paper towel. Doesn't mean the egg is bad. I don't see why you can't use soil or sand. I just know the eggs absorb the water in the substrate so whatever is in it they could potentially absorb. But they do it in nature so why not just use a syringe to inject the substrate every few days to keep substrate damp. Also I added a baby burp cloth to the bottom of my incubator it brought my humidity up from like 50 to 85% , just a tip incase your humidity is not hugh enough
When you say " I added a baby burp cloth to the bottom of my incubator", you mean outside the bins holding the eggs? The bottom of my incubator is water. Should I place the cloth in the water? A picture of your incubator would help me tremendously, if that's too much to ask. Pretty please?
